Vitacore was established on the conviction that Canada should have the domestic capability to produce critical healthcare products. The company became the first Canadian manufacturer of N95 respirators authorized by Health Canada, manufacturing locally in Burnaby from raw materials. Today, Vitacore generates approximately $10 million in revenue, with a product portfolio that includes surgical masks, respirators, related PPE, and Planet Impact, its program focused on recycling hard-to-recycle materials. As the business enters its next phase, it requires a senior finance leader who can bring greater financial discipline, strategic insight, and scalable infrastructure while preserving the pace and commercial agility that have defined its success. This is Vitacore’s first Chief Financial Officer appointment and a critical executive leadership role for the company’s next stage of scale. Reporting directly to the President, the CFO will serve as a strategic partner to ownership and leadership, establishing the financial architecture, governance discipline, capital strategy, and performance management framework required to support sustained growth. The role requires a CFO‑calibre finance executive who can operate as both strategist and operator in a growing, founder‑led business. The successful candidate will bring executive presence, commercial judgment, capital markets fluency, and the ability to influence enterprise decisions with confidence and credibility. Their mandate will extend beyond finance operations to include value creation, risk management, governance, capital allocation, and long‑term enterprise planning. Within the first year, the CFO will be expected to establish the financial leadership platform required for Vitacore’s next stage of growth, with measurable progress against the following priorities:



Develop a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast and 12-month financial outlook that provide clear visibility into liquidity, working capital, and capital requirements. Establish a reliable product costing model and margin reporting framework covering key product lines, raw materials, labour, overhead, yield, and inventory movements. Create an executive KPI dashboard that tracks revenue, gross margin, cash conversion, inventory turns, working capital, production efficiency, and capacity utilization. Complete an assessment of accounting systems, ERP capability, internal controls, and finance team capacity, and present a prioritized roadmap for scalable infrastructure. Prepare the company for future financing or strategic capital conversations by developing an investment narrative, integrated financial model, lender/investor materials, and data room readiness plan.
